Feb. 2025

Best backrooms game I've played. Dev updates and improves game regularly too.

Feb. 2025

I just played Backrooms Rec. in VR yesterday, and it was awesome, I hope the Dev puts the whole game into VR, with the workshops, with better motion controller support, and adds full body instead of just seeing your controllers, if not full body, at least arms and hands to create better immersion.

Sept. 2024

I’m not sure why this game has mixed reviews! The developer clearly crafted each area with time and attention to detail, avoiding boring, randomly generated rooms. The game captures the creepy liminal atmosphere better than most other backrooms titles. The controls are smooth, with only some occasional sticky doors that I'm sure will be fixed soon. The gameplay offers open exploration in solo/multiplayer modes and scripted, solo 'found footage' episodes. Both modes offer unique and engaging content, with the found footage offering some truly chilling moments. Overall, I eagerly await more content updates!

I really liked it a lot. If you're into Backrooms or anything similar, it's definitely worth it. I was going to give it a 10/10, but since it's still in Early Access, I found myself wanting more levels. I can say I'm going to be a little optimistic about the game because I really enjoy Backrooms, especially the Poolrooms. It has so much potential to become one of the best Backrooms games. The price is very low, and it almost doesn't have any bugs (I didn't find any, but I'm aware that some exist). The game is beautiful, and if you like Backrooms, it makes the experience even better. The multiplayer is very enjoyable, especially when playing with friends. However, because the game is short, it can sometimes be boring if you're playing alone. But in the Poolrooms, it can be very relaxing, even if you're just chatting with your friend(s) without doing much else. Of course, it's not perfect. The game’s level editor is quite bad I didn’t understand anything at first. After some time in any mode, it can get boring if you're completely alone, but that's fine. Final Opinion: It's completely understandable if you prefer to wait until the game is a bit more complete before buying it. However, the price might increase when that happens. For me, the game is worth the current price (I paid 45% off). Sorry for any mistakes my English isn't perfect, but even so, I think this game is worth my time to write about.

May 2024

The game is obviously new and needs a lot of work, but it shows significant potential. I'm excited to see what the creator has in store. It is 100% more of a multiplayer game vs solo. I only have a few suggestions at this moment: 1) I would like to be able to hide the game chat on the bottom left of the screen. 2) The flashlight needs to last longer and/or take longer to die so you have a chance to return to the light although I do appreciate that if you stay alongside the walls than it is light enough to see. 3) I am requesting a frutiger aero backrooms space alongside a pool rooms space. Overall, I think this will be an awesome backrooms game that you can play with friends and has replay potential. I wonder what new creatures will be introduced. P.S. I love the atmosphere of Level 11!
